Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez in Riyadh (screenshot)
The excitement in the Arab world is at its peak. Cristiano Ronaldo landed in Saudi Arabia today (Monday) and arrived at the airport in Riyadh to complete the medical tests at Al Nasser and to be officially presented as the biggest signing in the history of the Arab club.
Ronaldo, who will earn 200 million euros per year at Al Nasser, excited the team’s fans with a message in his Instagram story when he said with a wink: “Hey guys, see you soon!”. Al Nasser has already confirmed that Ronaldo’s show will take place on Tuesday at 18:00 at the team’s stadium, which holds 30,000 seats, and according to the Saudi newspaper ‘Arriyadiyah’ – the club plans to hold a “party” at the show on the same level as Real Madrid when they presented CR7 in 2009.
Cristiano’s partner too, Georgina Rodriguez, published photos with the star from the plane and the caption: “Not without me”. In the meantime, the Portuguese and his family will stay in a luxury hotel in the capital until they find a permanent residence in Riyadh.
In any case, the more interesting news is that if he proves to be fit enough – the veteran striker will be able to make his Al Nasser debut on Thursday in the team’s league game. According to the ‘Daily Mail’, coach Rudy Garcia is keen for Ronaldo to gain critical minutes ahead of the top-flight meeting against Al Shabab next Saturday.
